Okay, you asked for it. Justice O’Connor is advocating a consensus among nations and she’s saying that international law is just that, and that my friend is all the ammunition I need because the Supreme Court is supposed to interpret that United States Constitution and it isn’t supposed to rely upon any sort of rulings by foreign court or international law. Consensus has been a preferred agent of change for the left. It’s like capital punishment. The ACLU and others on the loony left always make it a point to say we’re the last industrialized nation that still has capital punishment. That’s why the Europeans have threatened to economically sanction the state of Texas. Consensus is about corralling us in the herd.
Keep it Up! Conservative Coulter Fan: I agree with you totally. I saw that quote by Ginsberg a while back and it put a knot in my stomach.
Now, with this Specter thing, I think WE THE PEOPLE need to turn these justices around and point them back to America soil and law.
/agree 100%
O'Connor has never suggested that the Court "rely" on iL merely that it will "consider" it. I "consider" voting for a RAT every time I enter the polls but never do because I consider what he stands for. I can "consider" what Russian law says without it prejudicing me in any way against the US Constitution.
These are groundless fears now and were six months ago when a similiar discussion took place. Of course, you ignored what I pointed out wrt our own past.
Judge Bork said on Hannity's show that Specter was only one of two Senators to vote to have our millitary tried by the international court.
Know anything more about this?
I agree with your points, however, I have a slight correction. Japan also has the death penalty, and uses it on occasion. Asahara (of the sarin gas Tokyo subway fame)was recently sentenced to death.
